The problem doesn't lie with the antenna. Its USER ERROR.
Who has called who, names or made excuses?
Over priced? You obviously have no idea what it costs to build an I-10K. Yes, they are THAT good! Coily's antenna is $450.00 due to the extra machining and welding. You get what you pay for and there are no free lunches.
What is real amazing is that you have NOT owned this antenna yourself and have made no claim that you have actually seen one up close. You then make claims based on what you have heard and not on what you have seen. This makes you a fool. Now, just incase you think I'm calling you names, the definition of a "fool" is "one who acts foolish." So you see, its not name calling any more than calling you a "man", because you have a pair.
I'd guess that if you actually ran an I-10K, you too would be proud of your investment....just like the rest of the world! Not everyone will be happy, but you can't please them all! Seriously though, if there WAS a problem with the I-10K, don't you think that more than one or two people would have a problem with it?
As I pointed out earlier, when the antenna is assembled wrong, it will not work well! I've seen it personally! When they are built right, they don't come apart in the air and they work as advertised!
It's too bad you live in New Jersey or I would bring one out and show you....using your radio and S-meter!
